Chris Jones pending [contract] situation
OK, so I was in the camp earlier in the season (right or wrong) that he was a great pass rusher inside but struggled against the run inside.
Yeah, I was wrong. He's improved on that a lot this year, he's a complete all around player. He dominated Gabe Jackson and company inside against Oakland. That's not easy. He was splitting doubles, making dudes look foolish. You've gotta keep that guy around. He's a top 10 defensive player in the league at this point, it's tough to let those guys walk. What is everything thinking now? |

It's important to point out that the "top ten" argument was said about Houston and Berry.

Stop being so damn afraid of contracts. My thinking is the same as it's ever been. Blue chip players make big plays in big games and that's why you pay to keep them. You don't build rosters around JAG's, you build them around difference makers.

You look at a game like Oakland this past week, why are we beating them so handily? I don’t think the gap is THAT big in terms of coaching, but we definitely have the edge. The big key is difference making talent. Oakland doesn’t have enough yet to compete with Kansas City. Most teams don’t. Then there’s the flip side of the argument, which regardless of which example people want to use (Berry, Houston, Clark to some degree here early), all revolves around injuries. If Jones starts to break down physically, we’ll be in a damn tough spot. |

Putting a shit ton of your capital into one entity, especially when you have a $200 million QB, is not exactly smart stuff. Most of our playmakers have been cheap players or rookies.

Mahomes and the OL need to take priority imho, though. The Andrew Luck is a big lesson that the Chiefs need to follow. |

So I think that is a great deal for KC. So as others are saying, if he will take a team friendly deal do it. If he wants full market value, tag and trade. |

Sign him to a long term deal. Pay him what is due. Give the guy his cheddar. Make him a Chief for life. Jones and the Chiefs forever!

Defence already isn’t great, so you want to take more talent away from it? You can’t build around Mahomes when you lose your best players and he’s not on the field because the D can’t stop a nosebleed.

My opinion is the same as it’s been. If he’ll take less-than-Donald money I’m in. Probably tag and trade otherwise. I do think his attitude given his contract situation and his flexibility moving to the outside has made him more valuable to us. I just can’t get him to Donald money if I’m pulling the trigger.
In hindsight, I wish we just would have given him Frank Clark’s money and found a JAG at DE. Because MOTHER ****ER. |

I’m torn as **** on this one.
I’ll wait and see the rest of the season, that’s where he will make his money (or not). |
